iPhone 6S not sending videos or screen recording and poor battery and gets very hot.

within the last 24 hours, my Iphone 6s cant send videos or digital touch messages on imessage or snapchat. it also cant screenrecord (get the message 'cocoa error -1' and 'failed to save recording due to: failed to save recording), and all of a sudden gets really hot and has an awful battery?


if i force restart it, it fixes it for about a minute then goes back to this issue?


Thanks in advance.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Protect & Prolong life of your iPhone's Battery:

  1. About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch ...
  2. Batteries - Maximising Performance - Apple (IN)
  3. iPhone Battery and Performance



Try some of these options too.

  1. Avoid Screen Mirroring
  2. Put on Low Power Mode
  3. Put Auto Lock On (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
  4. Put Auto Answer Off
  5. Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
  6. Keep your iPhone Face down to prevent notifications to light up screen
  7. Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
  8. Manually lower brightness from Control Center
  9. If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
  10. Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
  11. Location services to be allowed only while using the app
  12. Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
  13. Turning off Background App Refresh 
  14. Charge before it drops below 20-30%
  15. Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
  16. Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
  17. Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
  18. Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
  19. Periodically Check your Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)

At first update to iOS 13.5.1


I have iPhone 4S iOS 9.3.6, iPhone 6 iOS 12.4.7, iPhone SE iOS 13.5.1, iPhone 8 iOS 13.5.1 and an iPad Pro iPadOS 13.5.1. Prior to that I had iPhone 3GS which I have stopped using because it is carrier locked.


I have been updating all these devices whenever a new iOS is released. I have never encountered any issue whatsoever after any update because I have never downloaded anything over internet directly. Always used apps from App Store only.
